PULLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,572, dated` January 1, 18.89. Application filed July 30, 1888. Serial No. 281,427. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

be it known that I, FRANCIS AQILOMONT, a citizen of the United States, residing` at Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen, in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pulleys 5 and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being,l had to the accon'ipanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention yrelates to improvements in pulleys removable and adjust-able to shafts in position; andthe objects of my improvement are to provide a new device in the construction of pulleys whereby they can most easily and economically be put on shafts and removed without disconnectingl the shaftzo ing or taking it down for that purpose, and, secondly, to conserve the `greatest strength in the pulley possible and consistent with a removable pulley. I attain these objects by i the mechanism and construction illustrated in the accompan'yine,l drawings, in whichlfigure l is a plan view of a pulley embodying, the device. Fig. 2 is a view of a crosssection of Fig. l on the line .r fr.

Sim ilar letters referto similar parts throughout the several views.

The drawings show a pulley constructed of wood; but l do not confine myself to that material, as it is obvious that the devices are applicable to pulleys made of any other material.

The construction is as follows: Two arms, l l, are suitably Vfastened to the continuous imition of the rim of the pulley. To these arms one part, I), of the hub A securely fastened by the bolt Il and by being joined into the arms. llle other part, E, of the hub tits in lmlwvecn the arms, and is secured and fastened to the other part, I), of the hub by four bolts, K K K K. This part E of the hub is then made separately removable. A section, C, of the rim of the pulley is cut out with the ends n. 'n in V shape, as shown, for the purposes of removal and assist/ing to hold it in place. It maybe cutout in various other forms, which readily suggest themselves, so 5o as to answer the same purposes. The bolt F passes through the arms B 'B 'for the purpose of fastening' the section C in place by compression. It is placed between the hub and the rim.

I have shown and described a prelerable method of constructing my devices.

The essential parts ot' my invention consist, first, in a split hub, one part of which is firmly secured in place and the other part 6o is made so as to be easily removable, and means 'provided to securely fasten it to the xed part I) of the hub; second, in a single removable section, (l, of the rim of the pulley and the means provided to Vfasten it sccurel y in place.

The operationis as :follows: The section (l, the bolt F, and the cap E of the hub are removed and the pulley is passed over the shaft, the shaft passing' through the opcn- 7o ings thus made until it is in. place in the hub. The cap E is then securely fastened in place by the bolts K K K K. Then the section C is replaced .in the rim L and the bolt F is replaced and the arms B B drawn toward each other as tightly as may be by screwing up its nut. This action also draws the rim tightly against the section (l, which, with the construction or V shape of its ends, is thus held firmly in place. The pulley is now 8o ready lor use.

I'Iavingg' fully described my invention, what I claim, and desireio sci-.ure by Letters Patent, 1s-

l. The combination of a pulley-rim provii'lefljwlth a single removable section, the arms l "l, securely attached to the larger portion oli' the rim, 1hc hub-section. D, permanently securer'l to the arms .B B, the cap or hub-section E, removably secured to the 9o fixed hub-section, The bolts K, to clamp the hub-sections to the shaft, and the bolt F, to clamp the ends of the rim against the ends of its removable section, all substantially as described.

2. The combination of the arms B I3, se-

onrely attached to the run of arpulley, the my na1ne,n the presence of two witnesses, hub-section D, permanently secured to the this 26th day of July, A. D. 1888. :mns B B, the ca or hub-section E, remov- 1 y I. ably secured to thIJ fixed hub-section, and the L RANCIS A' LOMON T' 5 bolts K, to @lamp the h ub-sectons on the shaft, lVitnesses:

all substantially as described. H. C. HARTMAN, In testimony whereof I hereto Subscribe J. F. CURTICE.
